Thanks in advance as I'm trying to take a short cut here to find some interesting new music. In rough order of preference i like Yes Rush Hackett Genesis, Porcupine Tree (not Dead -boring- Wing) Mars Volta Pendragon The Flower kings The IQ tracks in the archive Some Pink Floyd(dark side) Karnataka Elp 70's Tull some of Snow by Spocks Beard The archive tracks from Collage Galleon and Galahad and landberk. I struggle with Dream Theatre, Pain of Salvation and generally that metalish stuff with harsh vocals. Am I missing anything? ------------- There stands Olias to outward to build a ship Holding within all we hope to retain The frame will be so built to challenge the universe Clasped with the skins of the fish of the plain |

try some lighter Dreamtheater stuff to ease yourself into it.Images and words is a must , and disc two of six degrees of innerturbulence is classic org rock.Very symphonic and hard prog rock at the same time. its brilliant.I'd try that. and king crimson is a fun one to get into ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |
